About Me

My name is Imogen and I will soon be childminding from my home in Southam (between Bishops Cleeve and Prestbury) Cheltenham.

My approach is centered on child-led learning, where each day is filled with exciting adventures that connect children to nature and the world around them. I’m very privileged to boast a huge outdoor space with all sorts of areas to explore and develop essential skills whilst having fun.

I'm currently completing my registration with OFSTED and plan to be opening late December/ early January.

My Experience

I have three children and two step children.

I have previously worked in various nurseries, for the NHS and, most recently, a primary school.

I firmly believe every child should feel cared for, safe and secure with the freedom to explore their surroundings and their emotions.

My Qualifications

Paediatric first aid, a full & clear DBS, safeguarding, food hygiene & many other courses.

My Fees

Babysitting from £16.00 per hour
Childminding from £8.00 per hour

We charge £8 per hour. This is inclusive of all food, drinks, nappies, wipes and other consumables. If your child requires formula we do ask that this is provided by you.

We operate Monday – Friday, 8am-6pm, 47 weeks a week. The minimum session offered is 8 hours per day.

We may be able to offer earlier or later pick ups on individual agreement.

We accept government funding, stretched over our 47 open weeks. Please note, if your child receives government funding we charge a voluntary consumables fee of £8 per day.

We are closed on all bank holidays, for two weeks at Christmas and for three weeks in July/ August, the exact dates will be made available to you a year or so in advance. You will not be charged for any time we are closed.
